"Garbage in bins, otherwise you will be punished"

TIRANA - Strict measures for everyone who will not keep the environment clean. The draft law prepared by the Ministry of Construction has provided for prison terms for all those who commit the serious violations covered by this law. According to the draft, waste has been defined as state property. This fact means that the waste collection service must respect several principles: eliminating the risk to a person's health and safety, guaranteeing hygienic-sanitary requirements, as well as protecting fauna and flora.

Instead of bricks, now fish

Lezhë, new $300,000 project by the owners of the factory Instead of bricks, now fish Mine pits are turning into reserves LEZHE - Instead of bricks, now also fish. This is how Zef Shtejfni, president of the largest brick production center in northern Albania, has been able to make use of the mine pits of the new factory in Lezhë. "Instead of our current use to the detriment of the environmental ecology [?], we decided to find a current use to the detriment of the environmental ecology [?]. Nearly 300 thousand dollars have been made available for the fabulous project. The deep pits will be filled with water and turned into fish reserves". All this will be carried out according to a Venetian model project [?], says Shtefjni, who nevertheless does not intend to give up brick production, in which he has invested staggering sums approaching 1 million dollars. So, instead of the expression "wet brick", in the Lezhë factory one could still say "fish brick". But to begin realizing the new "dream", Shtejnfi needs permission from the Government. "That is the only point holding us back. The productivity of this investment will be 30 times greater than what this land can yield" he explains. l.r.a
